Some new updates for the season…

Its official!  Im happy to  say   after  a long  and strenuous process Im  finally a homeowner!

In celebration,  I had mentioned in  an  earlier  blog  that I  will be offering a  20%  discount on  all commission, prints,  existing artwork, gift certificates and more.  his deal will only  be until  Thanksgiving.  Take  advantage of  it  now  as  I   usually never  do things  like  this!

Please feel  free to  share this blog   or  my  website, www.agillustration.com with  anyone you  feel would  enjoy it,  and  might  want to  spread  the  love  of  animal  art. (Keep  in mind   I   DO  draw  humans  as well!)

Moving along,  I  wanted to share   a  demo  I had   done in my Friday   Animal Portraiture class  at  the  Center   of Contemporary art  in Bedminster NJ

"Ruffled Feathers" Pastel 9" x 12"

"Ruffled Feathers" Pastel 9" x 12"

This  piece  along  with many other  pastels  and other pieces  are  available on my etsy  store  for  VERY  reasonable   prices.  I  price  them    lower since they are  my   demos  and  I    would love  for  everyone  to  be able to  afford an  original piece of  work.  Feel  free to check out  my etsy  store here.

On a   final  note, Winter classes are  approaching!  Yes,  believe it or not winter, however that  shouldn’t  be  too hard  to  realize  after that  horrible  snow  storm  we  just  had!

I  will be  offering various  classes  at  both my usual   art centers,

The Visual Art Center of NJ  located in  Summit, NJ.

The Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster, NJ.

Stay tuned to  their  websites   to  view the winter  online  brochure ( should  be  up   within the week) And if you register early  at  the Visual Art  Center  you  will receive  a  Early registration discount. If you are  already  enrolled  in  one of  my classes  you  can  simply call the art center.

*Please keep in mind  due to the   snow storm the art center   is   closed  for a few  days  due to  lack of power and  phone lines.  It  should  be  up and  running  by the  end of the week :)

Thanks for reading! And  please feel free to subscribe to  my blog  by   hitting the  ”follow”  button  of   following me  on my facebook   page  as  well.

Feel free to visit her website at www.AGillustration.com Artist Statement While growing up I was surrounded by dogs, cats and other small companions who inspired my love for animals. They never judged me and always gave me their unconditional love. I remember especially our dog Kane, a rottweiler, whose love for our family was the inspiration that lead me to specialize in animal portraiture. It is my way of paying him back for all the joy he brought to my life. It’s a real pleasure to receive a call from another animal owner who wants to honor a living pet, or commemorate a beloved companion with a portrait that captures the essence of their personality. My representational realistic style allows me to create a true reflection of their pet’s personality. Working with mostly pencil, charcoal, and oil paints, I strive to reproduce each play of light on the animal’s face, in it’s eyes, or on its coat until I have achieved a true likeness. My goal is to reflect the animal’s personality in a composition that gives it the respect and honor it deserves.
